Bureau of Otherworldly Operations\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>would come from a coloring book?\n\nWe got the logo a while ago, but there has been no other official word about the movie. But looks like a\u00a0coloring book called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1600584799\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1600584799&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=QCCGULDL5N5IHB3R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Learn to Draw Dreamworks' B.O.O.: Featuring Jackson Moss and all your favorite otherworldly haunts and heroes! <\/em><\/a>is how we're getting\u00a0our first glimpse. The cover shows\u00a0three B.O.O. ghost agents, including the film's main character Jackson Moss (on the cover, he's the one in the bottom left).\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18669\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/b-o-o-coloring-book-cover.jpg\" alt=\"b-o-o-coloring-book-cover\" width=\"387\" height=\"500\" \/>\n\nWe caught a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/06\/24\/licensing-expo-reveals-first-look-at-dreamworks-b-o-o-bureau-of-otherworldly-operations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">glimpse of Jackson Moss in a display<\/a> at the Licensing Expo this summer. Looking at the fully rendered design, he looks great. Moss is married (twice actually), so his design is notably older, showing that he's a man, not a boy. But he definitely comes off as the studly hero. There hasn't been much hype about this film yet, but if these designs are any indication, it'll be something exciting to look out for next summer.\n\nSince the other characters haven't been officially announced, we're not sure which character is who. But most likely the girl sketched in the middle is\u00a0Watts. The other two could be Captain Book, Carol Sue or Henry.\n\nThe book is available to buy on May 1, 2015.

And how sad Korra Nation was after\u00a0realizing that we wouldn't get Book 4 for potentially another year? Well, never fear! Looks like we're getting <em><strong>The Legend of Korra\u00a0Book 4: Balance<\/strong><\/em> next month on October 3!\r\n\r\nYes, you heard that right. Book 4 comes in <em>three weeks<\/em>.\r\n\r\nThe announcement was released as a special video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nick.com\/videos\/clip\/digital-short-legend-of-korra-uploader-special-announcement.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nickolodeon.com<\/a>. In the short 21-second video,\u00a0<em>The Legend of Korra\u00a0<\/em>co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino made the unexpected reveal, causing\u00a0<em>Korra<\/em> fans across the globe to literally jump for joy.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/10\/the-legend-of-korra-book-4-release-date-announced-hint-its-really-soon\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18650\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement.gif\" alt=\"legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a>(<a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/97176109017\/korranation-we-interrupt-your-scrolling-to-bring\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\r\nThe unexpected and hurried\u00a0release of Book 4 makes you wonder if Nickelodeon just wants to be done with the series altogether. We knew that Book 4 was already in production in 2013, even before Book 3 aired. Then Nickelodeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/06\/20\/the-legend-of-korra-book-3-release-date-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\">rushed the release of Book 3<\/a> after some episodes were leaked online. Followed by\u00a0the network deciding to completely pull Korra from its primetime lineup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/07\/24\/see-ya-korra-nickolodeon-unceremoniously-boots-the-legend-of-korra-from-its-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">opting to stream it online<\/a> only instead. If Korra were such a lucrative series for Nick, you'd think that it would like to drag out the franchise instead of rushing it the end.\r\n\r\nEither way, it is likely that this is the last series of the <em>Avatar\u00a0<\/em>universe, unless somehow DiMartino and Konietzko are able to move it to another studio\/network. (But it's unsure who has the rights to the series: Nickelodeon or the creators?) Since this could be the end of both <em>Korra<\/em> and <em>Avatar<\/em>, it makes this final season that much more important\u00a0to fans.\r\n\r\nJust a few days ago, we got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypable.com\/2014\/09\/06\/the-legend-of-korra-season-4-title-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\">official title of the book: Balance<\/a>. We thought this was just a tease to tide over the fans until the season's release sometime next year. But DiMartino\u00a0posted the image of the new title on <a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/96792416232\/korranation-get-ready-soon\" target=\"_blank\">his tumblr<\/a> with the words \"GET READY SOON.\" Guess we should have taken that hint a bit more seriously. (But really, no one expected the new season to air less than two months after Book 3's finale.)\r\n\r\nThe new title fits the theme of <em>Korra<\/em>, especially after the weakened state, both physically and mentally, that Korra herself was left in at the end of the Book 3. Book 4 will be the finale season of the series and there's still a lot of unanswered questions: will Korra be able to regain the connection with the past Avatars?

The newest one released today highlight Sony's\u00a0<strong>Lauren Faust<\/strong>, who is currently directing\u00a0<em>Medusa.<\/em>\r\n\r\nFaust shares her parts of her story\u00a0about how she was drawn to animation--from her first job in animation to becoming a feature length director. I personally really resonated with the part where she talked about how in high school she was the \"weird kid\" who was still into animation, which was \"supposed to be for kids.\"\r\n\r\nFaust is most famously known for revamping Hasbro's\u00a0<i>My Little Pony brand by creating the hit show\u00a0<\/i><em>My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/em>. Her journey in animation\u00a0is fascinating and definitely worth checking out.\r\n\r\nSony Pictures Animation is really stepping up its game, letting the world know that it wants to be a big player in the feature animation world. Videos like these are such a treat for animation fans and do a great job of endearing you to the studio, especially since Sony is somewhat newer in the industry (it's been just over ten\u00a0years since it released its first film,\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>).\r\n\r\nWatch the video below!

The shorts aren't directly\u00a0part of the film, but do have elements that are tied to it.\r\n\r\nThis film follows up after the first Equestria Girls spin-off film, bringing our favorite ponies back into the human world. This time, they are competing in a rock band competition.\r\n<blockquote><i>MY LITTLE PONY EQUESTRIA GIRLS: <span class=\"il\">RAINBOW<\/span> <span class=\"il\">ROCKS<\/span><\/i> the movie finds Canterlot High (CHS) hosting a musical showcase, and <span class=\"il\">Rainbow<\/span> Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy are going to be performing with their new band, The Rainbooms. But when The Dazzlings, a new girl group, arrive at CHS and convince everyone to turn the friendly showcase into a Battle of the Bands, tensions mount between the competing musical acts.

Looking at the fully rendered design, he looks great. Moss is married (twice actually), so his design is notably older, showing that he's a man, not a boy.

There hasn't been much hype about this film yet, but if these designs are any indication, it'll be something exciting to look out for next summer.\n\nSince the other characters haven't been officially announced, we're not sure which character is who.

And how sad Korra Nation was after\u00a0realizing that we wouldn't get Book 4 for potentially another year? Well, never fear! Looks like we're getting <em><strong>The Legend of Korra\u00a0Book 4: Balance<\/strong><\/em> next month on October 3!\r\n\r\nYes, you heard that right. Book 4 comes in <em>three weeks<\/em>.\r\n\r\nThe announcement was released as a special video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nick.com\/videos\/clip\/digital-short-legend-of-korra-uploader-special-announcement.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nickolodeon.com<\/a>. In the short 21-second video,\u00a0<em>The Legend of Korra\u00a0<\/em>co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino made the unexpected reveal, causing\u00a0<em>Korra<\/em> fans across the globe to literally jump for joy.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/10\/the-legend-of-korra-book-4-release-date-announced-hint-its-really-soon\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18650\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement.gif\" alt=\"legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a>(<a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/97176109017\/korranation-we-interrupt-your-scrolling-to-bring\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\r\nThe unexpected and hurried\u00a0release of Book 4 makes you wonder if Nickelodeon just wants to be done with the series altogether. We knew that Book 4 was already in production in 2013, even before Book 3 aired. Then Nickelodeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/06\/20\/the-legend-of-korra-book-3-release-date-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\">rushed the release of Book 3<\/a> after some episodes were leaked online. Followed by\u00a0the network deciding to completely pull Korra from its primetime lineup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/07\/24\/see-ya-korra-nickolodeon-unceremoniously-boots-the-legend-of-korra-from-its-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">opting to stream it online<\/a> only instead. If Korra were such a lucrative series for Nick, you'd think that it would like to drag out the franchise instead of rushing it the end.\r\n\r\nEither way, it is likely that this is the last series of the <em>Avatar\u00a0<\/em>universe, unless somehow DiMartino and Konietzko are able to move it to another studio\/network. (But it's unsure who has the rights to the series: Nickelodeon or the creators?) Since this could be the end of both <em>Korra<\/em> and <em>Avatar<\/em>, it makes this final season that much more important\u00a0to fans.\r\n\r\nJust a few days ago, we got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypable.com\/2014\/09\/06\/the-legend-of-korra-season-4-title-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\">official title of the book: Balance<\/a>. We thought this was just a tease to tide over the fans until the season's release sometime next year. But DiMartino\u00a0posted the image of the new title on <a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/96792416232\/korranation-get-ready-soon\" target=\"_blank\">his tumblr<\/a> with the words \"GET READY SOON.\" Guess we should have taken that hint a bit more seriously. (But really, no one expected the new season to air less than two months after Book 3's finale.)\r\n\r\nThe new title fits the theme of <em>Korra<\/em>, especially after the weakened state, both physically and mentally, that Korra herself was left in at the end of the Book 3. Book 4 will be the finale season of the series and there's still a lot of unanswered questions: will Korra be able to regain the connection with the past Avatars?

The newest one released today highlight Sony's\u00a0<strong>Lauren Faust<\/strong>, who is currently directing\u00a0<em>Medusa.<\/em>\r\n\r\nFaust shares her parts of her story\u00a0about how she was drawn to animation--from her first job in animation to becoming a feature length director. I personally really resonated with the part where she talked about how in high school she was the \"weird kid\" who was still into animation, which was \"supposed to be for kids.\"\r\n\r\nFaust is most famously known for revamping Hasbro's\u00a0<i>My Little Pony brand by creating the hit show\u00a0<\/i><em>My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/em>. Her journey in animation\u00a0is fascinating and definitely worth checking out.\r\n\r\nSony Pictures Animation is really stepping up its game, letting the world know that it wants to be a big player in the feature animation world. Videos like these are such a treat for animation fans and do a great job of endearing you to the studio, especially since Sony is somewhat newer in the industry (it's been just over ten\u00a0years since it released its first film,\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>).\r\n\r\nWatch the video below!

But when The Dazzlings, a new girl group, arrive at CHS and convince everyone to turn the friendly showcase into a Battle of the Bands, tensions mount between the competing musical acts. A now-reformed Sunset Shimmer realizes that the Dazzlings may not be ordinary girls and are after something far more sinister than just being named Best Band at Canterlot High. The Rainbooms call on Princess Twilight to restore harmony to their world to help them perform a musical counter-spell so that they can win a battle that now determines the fate of the entire school!<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks <\/em>will have a limited release in theatres on September 27 before hitting Blu-ray and DVD a month later on October 28 (pre-order on Amazon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00LOCLANY\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00LOCLANY&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=7PDHTNAO2RS6TJL3\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

And how sad Korra Nation was after\u00a0realizing that we wouldn't get Book 4 for potentially another year? Well, never fear! Looks like we're getting <em><strong>The Legend of Korra\u00a0Book 4: Balance<\/strong><\/em> next month on October 3!\r\n\r\nYes, you heard that right. Book 4 comes in <em>three weeks<\/em>.\r\n\r\nThe announcement was released as a special video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nick.com\/videos\/clip\/digital-short-legend-of-korra-uploader-special-announcement.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nickolodeon.com<\/a>. In the short 21-second video,\u00a0<em>The Legend of Korra\u00a0<\/em>co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino made the unexpected reveal, causing\u00a0<em>Korra<\/em> fans across the globe to literally jump for joy.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/10\/the-legend-of-korra-book-4-release-date-announced-hint-its-really-soon\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18650\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement.gif\" alt=\"legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a>(<a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/97176109017\/korranation-we-interrupt-your-scrolling-to-bring\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\r\nThe unexpected and hurried\u00a0release of Book 4 makes you wonder if Nickelodeon just wants to be done with the series altogether. We knew that Book 4 was already in production in 2013, even before Book 3 aired. Then Nickelodeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/06\/20\/the-legend-of-korra-book-3-release-date-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\">rushed the release of Book 3<\/a> after some episodes were leaked online. Followed by\u00a0the network deciding to completely pull Korra from its primetime lineup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/07\/24\/see-ya-korra-nickolodeon-unceremoniously-boots-the-legend-of-korra-from-its-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">opting to stream it online<\/a> only instead. If Korra were such a lucrative series for Nick, you'd think that it would like to drag out the franchise instead of rushing it the end.\r\n\r\nEither way, it is likely that this is the last series of the <em>Avatar\u00a0<\/em>universe, unless somehow DiMartino and Konietzko are able to move it to another studio\/network. (But it's unsure who has the rights to the series: Nickelodeon or the creators?) Since this could be the end of both <em>Korra<\/em> and <em>Avatar<\/em>, it makes this final season that much more important\u00a0to fans.\r\n\r\nJust a few days ago, we got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypable.com\/2014\/09\/06\/the-legend-of-korra-season-4-title-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\">official title of the book: Balance<\/a>. We thought this was just a tease to tide over the fans until the season's release sometime next year. But DiMartino\u00a0posted the image of the new title on <a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/96792416232\/korranation-get-ready-soon\" target=\"_blank\">his tumblr<\/a> with the words \"GET READY SOON.\" Guess we should have taken that hint a bit more seriously. (But really, no one expected the new season to air less than two months after Book 3's finale.)\r\n\r\nThe new title fits the theme of <em>Korra<\/em>, especially after the weakened state, both physically and mentally, that Korra herself was left in at the end of the Book 3. Book 4 will be the finale season of the series and there's still a lot of unanswered questions: will Korra be able to regain the connection with the past Avatars?

The newest one released today highlight Sony's\u00a0<strong>Lauren Faust<\/strong>, who is currently directing\u00a0<em>Medusa.<\/em>\r\n\r\nFaust shares her parts of her story\u00a0about how she was drawn to animation--from her first job in animation to becoming a feature length director. I personally really resonated with the part where she talked about how in high school she was the \"weird kid\" who was still into animation, which was \"supposed to be for kids.\"\r\n\r\nFaust is most famously known for revamping Hasbro's\u00a0<i>My Little Pony brand by creating the hit show\u00a0<\/i><em>My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/em>. Her journey in animation\u00a0is fascinating and definitely worth checking out.\r\n\r\nSony Pictures Animation is really stepping up its game, letting the world know that it wants to be a big player in the feature animation world. Videos like these are such a treat for animation fans and do a great job of endearing you to the studio, especially since Sony is somewhat newer in the industry (it's been just over ten\u00a0years since it released its first film,\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>).\r\n\r\nWatch the video below!

The film is set apart by a modern\u00a0art style, which was revolutionary for a Disney animated film at the time. But how does the film stand up today nearly 50 years later? Is the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00KB3PZ60\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00KB3PZ60&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=MYL3ZIKOMJOKXSFS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Sleeping Beauty\u00a0<\/em>Diamond Edition<\/a> the release we've all been waiting for?\r\n<h3><strong>The Film<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<em>Sleeping Beauty<\/em> tells the story of a princess who is cursed at her christening by an evil fairy Maleficent. Maleficent, jealous that she wasn't formerly invited, bestows a \"gift\" on the babe, prophesying that she will die after pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. While everyone is shocked and horrified, one good fairy alters the curse, saying that instead be in a sleep from which she can only be awakened by \"true love's first kiss.\" The king and queen are somewhat comforted by this, however, burn every spinning wheel in the kingdom and allow the princess Aurora to be taken away by the three good fairies and raised as a peasant girl in the forest. Sixteen years pass, and just before sunset Maleficent lures Aurora to touch the accursed spindle. It seems that all is lost and now the kingdom's fate\u00a0is up to the Prince, who Aurora met in the forest earlier that day.\r\n\r\nSome complain that the story is thin, but I personally have no qualms with it. Aurora was a product of her time and I appreciate her grace and femininity. Prince Phillip is arguably one of the best Disney princes around, he's really got it all: looks, charm, humor--what more could you want? With the interaction between these two, in addition to the three good fairies and Maleficent, there is plenty of plot to go around.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-1-1024x397.jpg\" alt=\"sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-1\" width=\"630\" height=\"244\" \/>\r\n\r\nYou may not agree about the complexity, but one thing you can't argus is about how the film is a\u00a0splendor to look at. The iconic, angular, stylized design set this film about from other Disney films at the film and is still breathtaking today. The two leads Aurora and Maleficent were both animated by legendary animator Marc Davis, showing us what the hand of the master can really do for both a princess and villain.\r\n\r\nThe HD restoration is the same from the 2008 Platinum Edition Blu-ray release. But that's a good thing because the restoration was beautiful. Everything is crisp, clean, bright, but not overly corrected\u00a0like\u00a0<em>Cinderella\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0<em>The Sword in the Stone<\/em>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/10\/07\/blu-ray-review-sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition\/sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19634\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-3-1024x373.jpg\" alt=\"sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-3\" width=\"630\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h3><strong>The Features<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<em>Sleeping Beauty <\/em>was previously released on Blu-ray in 2008, so a Diamond Edition re-release seemed a bit redundant. However, many of the bonus features from that release (18 in total) were actually left on the cutting room floor for the Diamond Edition release. There are a few that remain, in addition to new ones created; however, it seems like a real missed opportunity to leave the previously created Blu-ray features off.\r\n\r\nRegarding new features, there are <strong>three deleted or alternate scenes<\/strong>. <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/BFUDj1C7_Ig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"The Fair\"<\/a> depicts a completely different version of the story, where instead of escaping to hide in the forest, Aurora is imprisoned and protected inside the palace walls. One day, she switched places with her hand maiden to go outside and visit the fair. But Maleficent and her crony, a fast-talking vulture, aren't far behind. The clip is taken from old storyboards and give more theatricality by making it move like a motion comic. It's fascinating to see how different the direction of the film was at one point. Other deleted scenes include <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/jD2NF-j7rVk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"The Curse Is Fulfilled\"<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/4eYm61X9WlM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"Arrival of Maleficent\"<\/a>, which consist of alternate version of scenes from film.\r\n\r\n<strong>Art of Evil: Generations of Disney Villains\u00a0<\/strong>is a segment that discusses the development and importance of Disney villains in animation. Lino DiSalvo (head of animation for\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>) and Andreas Deja (animator on Gaston, Jafar, and Scar) lead the <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/uCvZk7VSu7Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discussion talking about Marc Davis' work<\/a> on Maleficent and other villains and how that influenced their work on modern-day Disney\r\n\r\nNext up is\u00a0<strong>@DisneyAnimation: Artists in Motion (Extended Edition)<\/strong>, which continues the @DisneyAnimation series of showing inside the world of Walt Disney Animation Studios today. This featurette talks about visual development artist Brittney Lee (who has worked on\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em>), whose famously known for her medium of choice: paper. We see a time lapse of her creating a 3D Maleficent paper sculpture, while also hearing her own insights about the process. If you've never seen Lee's work, then you're in for a real treat.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XdJpXFVunJ0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>Last of the new bonus features is <strong>Beauty-oke<\/strong>, which is much like Bear-e-oke, Crab-e-oke and Mary-oke from other Diamond Edition releases. These feature stylized, kinetic kareoke lyrics to the songs in the film; however, this release only gives us one of the film's numerous songs: \"Once Upon a Dream.\" Personally, I found it very disorienting to watch and won't be checking it out again.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qx5MsmQAK_0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center>\r\nOther \"classic\" bonus features (AKA from the 2008 Platinum Edition Blu-ray) include an audio commentary by film historian Leonard Martin, John Lasseter and Andreas Deja; a featurette called\u00a0<strong>The Sound of Beauty: Restoring a Classic<\/strong>, which discusses the process to remaster the sound; a class making-of featurette called\u00a0<strong>Picture Perfect: The Making of <em>Sleeping Beauty<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and a quick featurette called <strong>Eyvind Earle: A Man and His Art<\/strong>, which talks about the\u00a0<em>Sleeping Beauty<\/em>'s art director who was solely responsible for the film's iconic look.\r\n<h3><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIf you don't own\u00a0<em>Sleeping Beauty\u00a0<\/em>on Blu-ray, then you better snatch up the Diamond Edition before it gets put back into the Disney Vault. The HD restoration is beautiful and the bonus features, for the most part, are new, interesting and informative. While I'm disappointed dozens of featurettes got cut, I'm still satisfied with the new stuff they put together for the release. That being said, if you already own the 2008 Platinum Edition, then this one definitely is worth skipping.\r\n<h3><strong>Purchase<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<em>Sleeping Beauty<\/em> Diamond Edition: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00KB3PZ60\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00KB3PZ60&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=MYL3ZIKOMJOKXSFS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blu-ray\/DVD Combo<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00KB3PZ3S\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00KB3PZ3S&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=XNJLUOI4JKBFAX3E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DVD<\/a>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lWduLjgns0s\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>","post_title":"'Sleeping Beauty' Diamond Edition Blu-ray Review: Dreams & Dragons in Dazzling Detail","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"blu-ray-review-sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-21 21:49:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-22 04:49:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=19629","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"8","filter":"raw"},{"ID":18975,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-09-26 06:37:34","post_date_gmt":"2014-09-26 13:37:34","post_content":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/26\/review-the-boxtrolls-dont-judge-this-troll-by-its-box\/1600-0330-fin-001-l-0045-tiff\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19121\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/the-boxtrolls-group-of-boxtrolls.jpg\" alt=\"the-boxtrolls-group-of-boxtrolls\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nWhenever a new LAIKA film is announced, animation fans eagerly await its release. Despite being a newer studio, LAIKA has established itself as the purveyors of interesting and unique animated films that challenge animation's status quo. It's newest film\u00a0<em>The Boxtrolls<\/em> is no exception: it's gorgeously animated, engaging and an all-around great time.\r\n\r\n<em>The Boxtrolls<\/em> tells the story of a society of creatures who live underneath the city Cheesebridge. They are called Boxtrolls because they, simply, are trolls that wear boxes. They lurk in the shadows and come to the surface at night to ransack garbage bins, looking for gadgets and gizmos to take back to their home. One day, the Boxtrolls steal a young boy and proceed to raise him as their own. As a result of this treacherous deed, the city's leaders, known as White Hats because of the large pompous hats with with they ornate themselves, call upon a man named Snatcher to exterminate them. Snatcher covets the White Hat and agrees to exterminate every last Boxtroll in the city, in exchange for a prestigious hat. Getting rid of the Boxtrolls takes a few years though and we see the little boy, now named Eggs, grow up. But as his Boxtroll family disappears one by one, he realizes that it's up to him to head up to the human world to save them himself.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/26\/review-the-boxtrolls-dont-judge-this-troll-by-its-box\/0700-0740-fin-001-l-0127-tiff\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19123\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/the-boxtrolls-eggs-at-night.jpg\" alt=\"the-boxtrolls-eggs-at-night\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe characters, especially the grunting Boxtrolls, are surprisingly enjoyable. Despite not being able to talk, the Boxtrolls each have distinct personalities and character arcs. One way LAIKA was able to do this\u00a0was to\u00a0differentiate them not only by size and stature, but also my the boxes they wear. One wears a box with a picture of a fish, so his name is Fish. Another wears a box of an oil can, so his name is O Can. In a movie filled with a variety of characters, this simple way to distinguish and remember them. Also, I'm still not quite sure what gender they were; they were androgynously designed, but seemed male (I never saw a female-looking Boxtroll once).\r\n\r\nMy favorite character, by far, was Winnie, the daughter of a cheese-loving, white-hat wearing magistrate. She's sassy, inquisitive and slightly overbearing, yet neglected by her father. Her design, with her curly pigtails and freckles, is quite appealing and classic. She is delightfully voiced by Elle Fanning, whose voice feels familiar. Elle's sister, Dakota, actually voiced Coraline in another LAIKA film and I guess the similarities in their voices were evident in\u00a0<em>The Boxtrolls<\/em>. I'm not suggesting that LAIKA uses the girls in all their films like Pixar does with John Ratzenberger, but hearing Elle voice a LAIKA lead was a welcome, comforting surprise.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/26\/review-the-boxtrolls-dont-judge-this-troll-by-its-box\/the-boxtrolls-winnie-eggs\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19120\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/the-boxtrolls-winnie-eggs.jpg\" alt=\"the-boxtrolls-winnie-eggs\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe films explores the symbols that define us in society and as a person, whether our hierarchy, class, or status. One prominent symbol is the tangible boxes that the Boxtrolls wear, which are the epitome of what makes them a Boxtroll. Without a box, what are they? So when Eggs decide to remove his box for a while and explore life as a human, the Boxtrolls don't know how to cope. Another prominent symbol is the illustrious white hat that the magistrates wear, heralding\u00a0to the\u00a0Cheesebridge denizens that the white hat wearers are the rulers (and also that they get to enjoy the town's finest cheese). These themes are visceral, clear and straightforward, allowing them to be understood and absorbed on all levels and age groups.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/26\/review-the-boxtrolls-dont-judge-this-troll-by-its-box\/1400-0900-fin-001-_l-0184_cc-tiff\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19122\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/the-boxtrolls-eggs-and-group.jpg\" alt=\"the-boxtrolls-eggs-and-group\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nAs Eggs ventures into the human world, it reminded me of\u00a0other fish-out-of-water situations\u00a0such as Quasimodo in\u00a0<em>The Hunchback of Notre<\/em> Dame.<em>\u00a0<\/em>Also, being raised by creatures other than his own reminded me of Mowgli from\u00a0<em>The Jungle Book<\/em> and\u00a0Tarzan\u00a0from the movie of the same name.

And for\u00a0a CGI film, <em>Popeye<\/em>'s\u00a0animation is\u00a0able to retain that\u00a0distinctive rubber hose animation and cartoony sensibility, which characterized animation from the 20s and 30s.\u00a0Plain and simple: the animation just works.

The shorts aren't directly\u00a0part of the film, but do have elements that are tied to it.\r\n\r\nThis film follows up after the first Equestria Girls spin-off film, bringing our favorite ponies back into the human world. This time, they are competing in a rock band competition.\r\n<blockquote><i>MY LITTLE PONY EQUESTRIA GIRLS: <span class=\"il\">RAINBOW<\/span> <span class=\"il\">ROCKS<\/span><\/i> the movie finds Canterlot High (CHS) hosting a musical showcase, and <span class=\"il\">Rainbow<\/span> Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy are going to be performing with their new band, The Rainbooms. But when The Dazzlings, a new girl group, arrive at CHS and convince everyone to turn the friendly showcase into a Battle of the Bands, tensions mount between the competing musical acts. A now-reformed Sunset Shimmer realizes that the Dazzlings may not be ordinary girls and are after something far more sinister than just being named Best Band at Canterlot High. The Rainbooms call on Princess Twilight to restore harmony to their world to help them perform a musical counter-spell so that they can win a battle that now determines the fate of the entire school!<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks <\/em>will have a limited release in theatres on September 27 before hitting Blu-ray and DVD a month later on October 28 (pre-order on Amazon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00LOCLANY\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00LOCLANY&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=7PDHTNAO2RS6TJL3\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

Looking at the fully rendered design, he looks great. Moss is married (twice actually), so his design is notably older, showing that he's a man, not a boy.

There hasn't been much hype about this film yet, but if these designs are any indication, it'll be something exciting to look out for next summer.\n\nSince the other characters haven't been officially announced, we're not sure which character is who.

And how sad Korra Nation was after\u00a0realizing that we wouldn't get Book 4 for potentially another year? Well, never fear! Looks like we're getting <em><strong>The Legend of Korra\u00a0Book 4: Balance<\/strong><\/em> next month on October 3!\r\n\r\nYes, you heard that right. Book 4 comes in <em>three weeks<\/em>.\r\n\r\nThe announcement was released as a special video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nick.com\/videos\/clip\/digital-short-legend-of-korra-uploader-special-announcement.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nickolodeon.com<\/a>. In the short 21-second video,\u00a0<em>The Legend of Korra\u00a0<\/em>co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino made the unexpected reveal, causing\u00a0<em>Korra<\/em> fans across the globe to literally jump for joy.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/10\/the-legend-of-korra-book-4-release-date-announced-hint-its-really-soon\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18650\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement.gif\" alt=\"legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a>(<a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/97176109017\/korranation-we-interrupt-your-scrolling-to-bring\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\r\nThe unexpected and hurried\u00a0release of Book 4 makes you wonder if Nickelodeon just wants to be done with the series altogether. We knew that Book 4 was already in production in 2013, even before Book 3 aired. Then Nickelodeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/06\/20\/the-legend-of-korra-book-3-release-date-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\">rushed the release of Book 3<\/a> after some episodes were leaked online. Followed by\u00a0the network deciding to completely pull Korra from its primetime lineup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/07\/24\/see-ya-korra-nickolodeon-unceremoniously-boots-the-legend-of-korra-from-its-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">opting to stream it online<\/a> only instead. If Korra were such a lucrative series for Nick, you'd think that it would like to drag out the franchise instead of rushing it the end.\r\n\r\nEither way, it is likely that this is the last series of the <em>Avatar\u00a0<\/em>universe, unless somehow DiMartino and Konietzko are able to move it to another studio\/network. (But it's unsure who has the rights to the series: Nickelodeon or the creators?) Since this could be the end of both <em>Korra<\/em> and <em>Avatar<\/em>, it makes this final season that much more important\u00a0to fans.\r\n\r\nJust a few days ago, we got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypable.com\/2014\/09\/06\/the-legend-of-korra-season-4-title-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\">official title of the book: Balance<\/a>. We thought this was just a tease to tide over the fans until the season's release sometime next year. But DiMartino\u00a0posted the image of the new title on <a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/96792416232\/korranation-get-ready-soon\" target=\"_blank\">his tumblr<\/a> with the words \"GET READY SOON.\" Guess we should have taken that hint a bit more seriously. (But really, no one expected the new season to air less than two months after Book 3's finale.)\r\n\r\nThe new title fits the theme of <em>Korra<\/em>, especially after the weakened state, both physically and mentally, that Korra herself was left in at the end of the Book 3. Book 4 will be the finale season of the series and there's still a lot of unanswered questions: will Korra be able to regain the connection with the past Avatars?

The newest one released today highlight Sony's\u00a0<strong>Lauren Faust<\/strong>, who is currently directing\u00a0<em>Medusa.<\/em>\r\n\r\nFaust shares her parts of her story\u00a0about how she was drawn to animation--from her first job in animation to becoming a feature length director. I personally really resonated with the part where she talked about how in high school she was the \"weird kid\" who was still into animation, which was \"supposed to be for kids.\"\r\n\r\nFaust is most famously known for revamping Hasbro's\u00a0<i>My Little Pony brand by creating the hit show\u00a0<\/i><em>My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/em>. Her journey in animation\u00a0is fascinating and definitely worth checking out.\r\n\r\nSony Pictures Animation is really stepping up its game, letting the world know that it wants to be a big player in the feature animation world. Videos like these are such a treat for animation fans and do a great job of endearing you to the studio, especially since Sony is somewhat newer in the industry (it's been just over ten\u00a0years since it released its first film,\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>).\r\n\r\nWatch the video below!

Looking at the fully rendered design, he looks great. Moss is married (twice actually), so his design is notably older, showing that he's a man, not a boy. But he definitely comes off as the studly hero. There hasn't been much hype about this film yet, but if these designs are any indication, it'll be something exciting to look out for next summer.\n\nSince the other characters haven't been officially announced, we're not sure which character is who.

And how sad Korra Nation was after\u00a0realizing that we wouldn't get Book 4 for potentially another year? Well, never fear! Looks like we're getting <em><strong>The Legend of Korra\u00a0Book 4: Balance<\/strong><\/em> next month on October 3!\r\n\r\nYes, you heard that right. Book 4 comes in <em>three weeks<\/em>.\r\n\r\nThe announcement was released as a special video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nick.com\/videos\/clip\/digital-short-legend-of-korra-uploader-special-announcement.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nickolodeon.com<\/a>. In the short 21-second video,\u00a0<em>The Legend of Korra\u00a0<\/em>co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino made the unexpected reveal, causing\u00a0<em>Korra<\/em> fans across the globe to literally jump for joy.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/10\/the-legend-of-korra-book-4-release-date-announced-hint-its-really-soon\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18650\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement.gif\" alt=\"legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a>(<a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/97176109017\/korranation-we-interrupt-your-scrolling-to-bring\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\r\nThe unexpected and hurried\u00a0release of Book 4 makes you wonder if Nickelodeon just wants to be done with the series altogether. We knew that Book 4 was already in production in 2013, even before Book 3 aired. Then Nickelodeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/06\/20\/the-legend-of-korra-book-3-release-date-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\">rushed the release of Book 3<\/a> after some episodes were leaked online. Followed by\u00a0the network deciding to completely pull Korra from its primetime lineup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/07\/24\/see-ya-korra-nickolodeon-unceremoniously-boots-the-legend-of-korra-from-its-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">opting to stream it online<\/a> only instead. If Korra were such a lucrative series for Nick, you'd think that it would like to drag out the franchise instead of rushing it the end.\r\n\r\nEither way, it is likely that this is the last series of the <em>Avatar\u00a0<\/em>universe, unless somehow DiMartino and Konietzko are able to move it to another studio\/network. (But it's unsure who has the rights to the series: Nickelodeon or the creators?) Since this could be the end of both <em>Korra<\/em> and <em>Avatar<\/em>, it makes this final season that much more important\u00a0to fans.\r\n\r\nJust a few days ago, we got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypable.com\/2014\/09\/06\/the-legend-of-korra-season-4-title-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\">official title of the book: Balance<\/a>. We thought this was just a tease to tide over the fans until the season's release sometime next year. But DiMartino\u00a0posted the image of the new title on <a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/96792416232\/korranation-get-ready-soon\" target=\"_blank\">his tumblr<\/a> with the words \"GET READY SOON.\" Guess we should have taken that hint a bit more seriously. (But really, no one expected the new season to air less than two months after Book 3's finale.)\r\n\r\nThe new title fits the theme of <em>Korra<\/em>, especially after the weakened state, both physically and mentally, that Korra herself was left in at the end of the Book 3. Book 4 will be the finale season of the series and there's still a lot of unanswered questions: will Korra be able to regain the connection with the past Avatars?

The newest one released today highlight Sony's\u00a0<strong>Lauren Faust<\/strong>, who is currently directing\u00a0<em>Medusa.<\/em>\r\n\r\nFaust shares her parts of her story\u00a0about how she was drawn to animation--from her first job in animation to becoming a feature length director. I personally really resonated with the part where she talked about how in high school she was the \"weird kid\" who was still into animation, which was \"supposed to be for kids.\"\r\n\r\nFaust is most famously known for revamping Hasbro's\u00a0<i>My Little Pony brand by creating the hit show\u00a0<\/i><em>My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/em>. Her journey in animation\u00a0is fascinating and definitely worth checking out.\r\n\r\nSony Pictures Animation is really stepping up its game, letting the world know that it wants to be a big player in the feature animation world. Videos like these are such a treat for animation fans and do a great job of endearing you to the studio, especially since Sony is somewhat newer in the industry (it's been just over ten\u00a0years since it released its first film,\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>).\r\n\r\nWatch the video below!

Sony Pictures Animation just released a new featurette on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/SonyAnimation\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube channel<\/a> in which Tartakovsky shares some test animation of Popeye, Olive Oil and a few rogue pirates.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M1lzJuwJD9k\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\nAs with test animation, the scene is not an actual clip or scene from the film, but rather seemingly random footage just to give us an idea of the look and feel of the film. And for\u00a0a CGI film, <em>Popeye<\/em>'s\u00a0animation is\u00a0able to retain that\u00a0distinctive rubber hose animation and cartoony sensibility, which characterized animation from the 20s and 30s.\u00a0Plain and simple: the animation just works. It's over the top, fun, and great to look at.\r\n\r\nThat clip\u00a0alone would be enough to keep animation fans excited, but the first half of the video also gave us a glimpse at concept art, color keys, and storyboards from\u00a0<em>Popeye<\/em>.

A now-reformed Sunset Shimmer realizes that the Dazzlings may not be ordinary girls and are after something far more sinister than just being named Best Band at Canterlot High. The Rainbooms call on Princess Twilight to restore harmony to their world to help them perform a musical counter-spell so that they can win a battle that now determines the fate of the entire school!<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks <\/em>will have a limited release in theatres on September 27 before hitting Blu-ray and DVD a month later on October 28 (pre-order on Amazon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00LOCLANY\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00LOCLANY&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=7PDHTNAO2RS6TJL3\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

Looking at the fully rendered design, he looks great. Moss is married (twice actually), so his design is notably older, showing that he's a man, not a boy. But he definitely comes off as the studly hero. There hasn't been much hype about this film yet, but if these designs are any indication, it'll be something exciting to look out for next summer.\n\nSince the other characters haven't been officially announced, we're not sure which character is who.

And how sad Korra Nation was after\u00a0realizing that we wouldn't get Book 4 for potentially another year? Well, never fear! Looks like we're getting <em><strong>The Legend of Korra\u00a0Book 4: Balance<\/strong><\/em> next month on October 3!\r\n\r\nYes, you heard that right. Book 4 comes in <em>three weeks<\/em>.\r\n\r\nThe announcement was released as a special video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nick.com\/videos\/clip\/digital-short-legend-of-korra-uploader-special-announcement.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nickolodeon.com<\/a>. In the short 21-second video,\u00a0<em>The Legend of Korra\u00a0<\/em>co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino made the unexpected reveal, causing\u00a0<em>Korra<\/em> fans across the globe to literally jump for joy.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/10\/the-legend-of-korra-book-4-release-date-announced-hint-its-really-soon\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18650\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement.gif\" alt=\"legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a>(<a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/97176109017\/korranation-we-interrupt-your-scrolling-to-bring\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\r\nThe unexpected and hurried\u00a0release of Book 4 makes you wonder if Nickelodeon just wants to be done with the series altogether. We knew that Book 4 was already in production in 2013, even before Book 3 aired. Then Nickelodeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/06\/20\/the-legend-of-korra-book-3-release-date-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\">rushed the release of Book 3<\/a> after some episodes were leaked online. Followed by\u00a0the network deciding to completely pull Korra from its primetime lineup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/07\/24\/see-ya-korra-nickolodeon-unceremoniously-boots-the-legend-of-korra-from-its-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">opting to stream it online<\/a> only instead. If Korra were such a lucrative series for Nick, you'd think that it would like to drag out the franchise instead of rushing it the end.\r\n\r\nEither way, it is likely that this is the last series of the <em>Avatar\u00a0<\/em>universe, unless somehow DiMartino and Konietzko are able to move it to another studio\/network. (But it's unsure who has the rights to the series: Nickelodeon or the creators?) Since this could be the end of both <em>Korra<\/em> and <em>Avatar<\/em>, it makes this final season that much more important\u00a0to fans.\r\n\r\nJust a few days ago, we got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypable.com\/2014\/09\/06\/the-legend-of-korra-season-4-title-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\">official title of the book: Balance<\/a>. We thought this was just a tease to tide over the fans until the season's release sometime next year. But DiMartino\u00a0posted the image of the new title on <a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/96792416232\/korranation-get-ready-soon\" target=\"_blank\">his tumblr<\/a> with the words \"GET READY SOON.\" Guess we should have taken that hint a bit more seriously. (But really, no one expected the new season to air less than two months after Book 3's finale.)\r\n\r\nThe new title fits the theme of <em>Korra<\/em>, especially after the weakened state, both physically and mentally, that Korra herself was left in at the end of the Book 3. Book 4 will be the finale season of the series and there's still a lot of unanswered questions: will Korra be able to regain the connection with the past Avatars?

The newest one released today highlight Sony's\u00a0<strong>Lauren Faust<\/strong>, who is currently directing\u00a0<em>Medusa.<\/em>\r\n\r\nFaust shares her parts of her story\u00a0about how she was drawn to animation--from her first job in animation to becoming a feature length director. I personally really resonated with the part where she talked about how in high school she was the \"weird kid\" who was still into animation, which was \"supposed to be for kids.\"\r\n\r\nFaust is most famously known for revamping Hasbro's\u00a0<i>My Little Pony brand by creating the hit show\u00a0<\/i><em>My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/em>. Her journey in animation\u00a0is fascinating and definitely worth checking out.\r\n\r\nSony Pictures Animation is really stepping up its game, letting the world know that it wants to be a big player in the feature animation world. Videos like these are such a treat for animation fans and do a great job of endearing you to the studio, especially since Sony is somewhat newer in the industry (it's been just over ten\u00a0years since it released its first film,\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>).\r\n\r\nWatch the video below!

And for\u00a0a CGI film, <em>Popeye<\/em>'s\u00a0animation is\u00a0able to retain that\u00a0distinctive rubber hose animation and cartoony sensibility, which characterized animation from the 20s and 30s.\u00a0Plain and simple: the animation just works. It's over the top, fun, and great to look at.\r\n\r\nThat clip\u00a0alone would be enough to keep animation fans excited, but the first half of the video also gave us a glimpse at concept art, color keys, and storyboards from\u00a0<em>Popeye<\/em>.

The shorts aren't directly\u00a0part of the film, but do have elements that are tied to it.\r\n\r\nThis film follows up after the first Equestria Girls spin-off film, bringing our favorite ponies back into the human world. This time, they are competing in a rock band competition.\r\n<blockquote><i>MY LITTLE PONY EQUESTRIA GIRLS: <span class=\"il\">RAINBOW<\/span> <span class=\"il\">ROCKS<\/span><\/i> the movie finds Canterlot High (CHS) hosting a musical showcase, and <span class=\"il\">Rainbow<\/span> Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy are going to be performing with their new band, The Rainbooms. But when The Dazzlings, a new girl group, arrive at CHS and convince everyone to turn the friendly showcase into a Battle of the Bands, tensions mount between the competing musical acts. A now-reformed Sunset Shimmer realizes that the Dazzlings may not be ordinary girls and are after something far more sinister than just being named Best Band at Canterlot High. The Rainbooms call on Princess Twilight to restore harmony to their world to help them perform a musical counter-spell so that they can win a battle that now determines the fate of the entire school!<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks <\/em>will have a limited release in theatres on September 27 before hitting Blu-ray and DVD a month later on October 28 (pre-order on Amazon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00LOCLANY\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00LOCLANY&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=7PDHTNAO2RS6TJL3\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

Looking at the fully rendered design, he looks great. Moss is married (twice actually), so his design is notably older, showing that he's a man, not a boy.

There hasn't been much hype about this film yet, but if these designs are any indication, it'll be something exciting to look out for next summer.\n\nSince the other characters haven't been officially announced, we're not sure which character is who.

And how sad Korra Nation was after\u00a0realizing that we wouldn't get Book 4 for potentially another year? Well, never fear! Looks like we're getting <em><strong>The Legend of Korra\u00a0Book 4: Balance<\/strong><\/em> next month on October 3!\r\n\r\nYes, you heard that right. Book 4 comes in <em>three weeks<\/em>.\r\n\r\nThe announcement was released as a special video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nick.com\/videos\/clip\/digital-short-legend-of-korra-uploader-special-announcement.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nickolodeon.com<\/a>. In the short 21-second video,\u00a0<em>The Legend of Korra\u00a0<\/em>co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino made the unexpected reveal, causing\u00a0<em>Korra<\/em> fans across the globe to literally jump for joy.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/10\/the-legend-of-korra-book-4-release-date-announced-hint-its-really-soon\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18650\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement.gif\" alt=\"legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a>(<a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/97176109017\/korranation-we-interrupt-your-scrolling-to-bring\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\r\nThe unexpected and hurried\u00a0release of Book 4 makes you wonder if Nickelodeon just wants to be done with the series altogether. We knew that Book 4 was already in production in 2013, even before Book 3 aired. Then Nickelodeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/06\/20\/the-legend-of-korra-book-3-release-date-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\">rushed the release of Book 3<\/a> after some episodes were leaked online. Followed by\u00a0the network deciding to completely pull Korra from its primetime lineup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/07\/24\/see-ya-korra-nickolodeon-unceremoniously-boots-the-legend-of-korra-from-its-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">opting to stream it online<\/a> only instead. If Korra were such a lucrative series for Nick, you'd think that it would like to drag out the franchise instead of rushing it the end.\r\n\r\nEither way, it is likely that this is the last series of the <em>Avatar\u00a0<\/em>universe, unless somehow DiMartino and Konietzko are able to move it to another studio\/network. (But it's unsure who has the rights to the series: Nickelodeon or the creators?) Since this could be the end of both <em>Korra<\/em> and <em>Avatar<\/em>, it makes this final season that much more important\u00a0to fans.\r\n\r\nJust a few days ago, we got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypable.com\/2014\/09\/06\/the-legend-of-korra-season-4-title-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\">official title of the book: Balance<\/a>. We thought this was just a tease to tide over the fans until the season's release sometime next year. But DiMartino\u00a0posted the image of the new title on <a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/96792416232\/korranation-get-ready-soon\" target=\"_blank\">his tumblr<\/a> with the words \"GET READY SOON.\" Guess we should have taken that hint a bit more seriously. (But really, no one expected the new season to air less than two months after Book 3's finale.)\r\n\r\nThe new title fits the theme of <em>Korra<\/em>, especially after the weakened state, both physically and mentally, that Korra herself was left in at the end of the Book 3. Book 4 will be the finale season of the series and there's still a lot of unanswered questions: will Korra be able to regain the connection with the past Avatars?

The newest one released today highlight Sony's\u00a0<strong>Lauren Faust<\/strong>, who is currently directing\u00a0<em>Medusa.<\/em>\r\n\r\nFaust shares her parts of her story\u00a0about how she was drawn to animation--from her first job in animation to becoming a feature length director. I personally really resonated with the part where she talked about how in high school she was the \"weird kid\" who was still into animation, which was \"supposed to be for kids.\"\r\n\r\nFaust is most famously known for revamping Hasbro's\u00a0<i>My Little Pony brand by creating the hit show\u00a0<\/i><em>My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/em>. Her journey in animation\u00a0is fascinating and definitely worth checking out.\r\n\r\nSony Pictures Animation is really stepping up its game, letting the world know that it wants to be a big player in the feature animation world. Videos like these are such a treat for animation fans and do a great job of endearing you to the studio, especially since Sony is somewhat newer in the industry (it's been just over ten\u00a0years since it released its first film,\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>).\r\n\r\nWatch the video below!

The film is set apart by a modern\u00a0art style, which was revolutionary for a Disney animated film at the time. But how does the film stand up today nearly 50 years later? Is the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00KB3PZ60\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00KB3PZ60&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=MYL3ZIKOMJOKXSFS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Sleeping Beauty\u00a0<\/em>Diamond Edition<\/a> the release we've all been waiting for?\r\n<h3><strong>The Film<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<em>Sleeping Beauty<\/em> tells the story of a princess who is cursed at her christening by an evil fairy Maleficent. Maleficent, jealous that she wasn't formerly invited, bestows a \"gift\" on the babe, prophesying that she will die after pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. While everyone is shocked and horrified, one good fairy alters the curse, saying that instead be in a sleep from which she can only be awakened by \"true love's first kiss.\" The king and queen are somewhat comforted by this, however, burn every spinning wheel in the kingdom and allow the princess Aurora to be taken away by the three good fairies and raised as a peasant girl in the forest. Sixteen years pass, and just before sunset Maleficent lures Aurora to touch the accursed spindle. It seems that all is lost and now the kingdom's fate\u00a0is up to the Prince, who Aurora met in the forest earlier that day.\r\n\r\nSome complain that the story is thin, but I personally have no qualms with it. Aurora was a product of her time and I appreciate her grace and femininity. Prince Phillip is arguably one of the best Disney princes around, he's really got it all: looks, charm, humor--what more could you want? With the interaction between these two, in addition to the three good fairies and Maleficent, there is plenty of plot to go around.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-1-1024x397.jpg\" alt=\"sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-1\" width=\"630\" height=\"244\" \/>\r\n\r\nYou may not agree about the complexity, but one thing you can't argus is about how the film is a\u00a0splendor to look at. The iconic, angular, stylized design set this film about from other Disney films at the film and is still breathtaking today. The two leads Aurora and Maleficent were both animated by legendary animator Marc Davis, showing us what the hand of the master can really do for both a princess and villain.\r\n\r\nThe HD restoration is the same from the 2008 Platinum Edition Blu-ray release. But that's a good thing because the restoration was beautiful. Everything is crisp, clean, bright, but not overly corrected\u00a0like\u00a0<em>Cinderella\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0<em>The Sword in the Stone<\/em>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/10\/07\/blu-ray-review-sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition\/sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19634\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-3-1024x373.jpg\" alt=\"sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition-still-3\" width=\"630\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h3><strong>The Features<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<em>Sleeping Beauty <\/em>was previously released on Blu-ray in 2008, so a Diamond Edition re-release seemed a bit redundant. However, many of the bonus features from that release (18 in total) were actually left on the cutting room floor for the Diamond Edition release. There are a few that remain, in addition to new ones created; however, it seems like a real missed opportunity to leave the previously created Blu-ray features off.\r\n\r\nRegarding new features, there are <strong>three deleted or alternate scenes<\/strong>. <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/BFUDj1C7_Ig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"The Fair\"<\/a> depicts a completely different version of the story, where instead of escaping to hide in the forest, Aurora is imprisoned and protected inside the palace walls. One day, she switched places with her hand maiden to go outside and visit the fair. But Maleficent and her crony, a fast-talking vulture, aren't far behind. The clip is taken from old storyboards and give more theatricality by making it move like a motion comic. It's fascinating to see how different the direction of the film was at one point. Other deleted scenes include <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/jD2NF-j7rVk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"The Curse Is Fulfilled\"<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/4eYm61X9WlM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"Arrival of Maleficent\"<\/a>, which consist of alternate version of scenes from film.\r\n\r\n<strong>Art of Evil: Generations of Disney Villains\u00a0<\/strong>is a segment that discusses the development and importance of Disney villains in animation. Lino DiSalvo (head of animation for\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>) and Andreas Deja (animator on Gaston, Jafar, and Scar) lead the <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/uCvZk7VSu7Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discussion talking about Marc Davis' work<\/a> on Maleficent and other villains and how that influenced their work on modern-day Disney\r\n\r\nNext up is\u00a0<strong>@DisneyAnimation: Artists in Motion (Extended Edition)<\/strong>, which continues the @DisneyAnimation series of showing inside the world of Walt Disney Animation Studios today. This featurette talks about visual development artist Brittney Lee (who has worked on\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Wreck-It Ralph<\/em>), whose famously known for her medium of choice: paper. We see a time lapse of her creating a 3D Maleficent paper sculpture, while also hearing her own insights about the process. If you've never seen Lee's work, then you're in for a real treat.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XdJpXFVunJ0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>Last of the new bonus features is <strong>Beauty-oke<\/strong>, which is much like Bear-e-oke, Crab-e-oke and Mary-oke from other Diamond Edition releases. These feature stylized, kinetic kareoke lyrics to the songs in the film; however, this release only gives us one of the film's numerous songs: \"Once Upon a Dream.\" Personally, I found it very disorienting to watch and won't be checking it out again.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qx5MsmQAK_0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center>\r\nOther \"classic\" bonus features (AKA from the 2008 Platinum Edition Blu-ray) include an audio commentary by film historian Leonard Martin, John Lasseter and Andreas Deja; a featurette called\u00a0<strong>The Sound of Beauty: Restoring a Classic<\/strong>, which discusses the process to remaster the sound; a class making-of featurette called\u00a0<strong>Picture Perfect: The Making of <em>Sleeping Beauty<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and a quick featurette called <strong>Eyvind Earle: A Man and His Art<\/strong>, which talks about the\u00a0<em>Sleeping Beauty<\/em>'s art director who was solely responsible for the film's iconic look.\r\n<h3><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIf you don't own\u00a0<em>Sleeping Beauty\u00a0<\/em>on Blu-ray, then you better snatch up the Diamond Edition before it gets put back into the Disney Vault. The HD restoration is beautiful and the bonus features, for the most part, are new, interesting and informative. While I'm disappointed dozens of featurettes got cut, I'm still satisfied with the new stuff they put together for the release. That being said, if you already own the 2008 Platinum Edition, then this one definitely is worth skipping.\r\n<h3><strong>Purchase<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<em>Sleeping Beauty<\/em> Diamond Edition: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00KB3PZ60\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00KB3PZ60&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=MYL3ZIKOMJOKXSFS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blu-ray\/DVD Combo<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00KB3PZ3S\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00KB3PZ3S&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=XNJLUOI4JKBFAX3E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DVD<\/a>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lWduLjgns0s\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>","post_title":"'Sleeping Beauty' Diamond Edition Blu-ray Review: Dreams & Dragons in Dazzling Detail","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"blu-ray-review-sleeping-beauty-diamond-edition","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-21 21:49:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-22 04:49:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=19629","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"8","filter":"raw"},{"ID":18975,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-09-26 06:37:34","post_date_gmt":"2014-09-26 13:37:34","post_content":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/26\/review-the-boxtrolls-dont-judge-this-troll-by-its-box\/1600-0330-fin-001-l-0045-tiff\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19121\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/the-boxtrolls-group-of-boxtrolls.jpg\" alt=\"the-boxtrolls-group-of-boxtrolls\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nWhenever a new LAIKA film is announced, animation fans eagerly await its release. Despite being a newer studio, LAIKA has established itself as the purveyors of interesting and unique animated films that challenge animation's status quo. It's newest film\u00a0<em>The Boxtrolls<\/em> is no exception: it's gorgeously animated, engaging and an all-around great time.\r\n\r\n<em>The Boxtrolls<\/em> tells the story of a society of creatures who live underneath the city Cheesebridge. They are called Boxtrolls because they, simply, are trolls that wear boxes. They lurk in the shadows and come to the surface at night to ransack garbage bins, looking for gadgets and gizmos to take back to their home. One day, the Boxtrolls steal a young boy and proceed to raise him as their own. As a result of this treacherous deed, the city's leaders, known as White Hats because of the large pompous hats with with they ornate themselves, call upon a man named Snatcher to exterminate them. Snatcher covets the White Hat and agrees to exterminate every last Boxtroll in the city, in exchange for a prestigious hat. Getting rid of the Boxtrolls takes a few years though and we see the little boy, now named Eggs, grow up. But as his Boxtroll family disappears one by one, he realizes that it's up to him to head up to the human world to save them himself.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/26\/review-the-boxtrolls-dont-judge-this-troll-by-its-box\/0700-0740-fin-001-l-0127-tiff\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19123\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/the-boxtrolls-eggs-at-night.jpg\" alt=\"the-boxtrolls-eggs-at-night\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe characters, especially the grunting Boxtrolls, are surprisingly enjoyable. Despite not being able to talk, the Boxtrolls each have distinct personalities and character arcs. One way LAIKA was able to do this\u00a0was to\u00a0differentiate them not only by size and stature, but also my the boxes they wear. One wears a box with a picture of a fish, so his name is Fish. Another wears a box of an oil can, so his name is O Can. In a movie filled with a variety of characters, this simple way to distinguish and remember them. Also, I'm still not quite sure what gender they were; they were androgynously designed, but seemed male (I never saw a female-looking Boxtroll once).\r\n\r\nMy favorite character, by far, was Winnie, the daughter of a cheese-loving, white-hat wearing magistrate. She's sassy, inquisitive and slightly overbearing, yet neglected by her father. Her design, with her curly pigtails and freckles, is quite appealing and classic. She is delightfully voiced by Elle Fanning, whose voice feels familiar. Elle's sister, Dakota, actually voiced Coraline in another LAIKA film and I guess the similarities in their voices were evident in\u00a0<em>The Boxtrolls<\/em>. I'm not suggesting that LAIKA uses the girls in all their films like Pixar does with John Ratzenberger, but hearing Elle voice a LAIKA lead was a welcome, comforting surprise.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/26\/review-the-boxtrolls-dont-judge-this-troll-by-its-box\/the-boxtrolls-winnie-eggs\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19120\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/the-boxtrolls-winnie-eggs.jpg\" alt=\"the-boxtrolls-winnie-eggs\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe films explores the symbols that define us in society and as a person, whether our hierarchy, class, or status. One prominent symbol is the tangible boxes that the Boxtrolls wear, which are the epitome of what makes them a Boxtroll. Without a box, what are they? So when Eggs decide to remove his box for a while and explore life as a human, the Boxtrolls don't know how to cope. Another prominent symbol is the illustrious white hat that the magistrates wear, heralding\u00a0to the\u00a0Cheesebridge denizens that the white hat wearers are the rulers (and also that they get to enjoy the town's finest cheese). These themes are visceral, clear and straightforward, allowing them to be understood and absorbed on all levels and age groups.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/26\/review-the-boxtrolls-dont-judge-this-troll-by-its-box\/1400-0900-fin-001-_l-0184_cc-tiff\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19122\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/the-boxtrolls-eggs-and-group.jpg\" alt=\"the-boxtrolls-eggs-and-group\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nAs Eggs ventures into the human world, it reminded me of\u00a0other fish-out-of-water situations\u00a0such as Quasimodo in\u00a0<em>The Hunchback of Notre<\/em> Dame.<em>\u00a0<\/em>Also, being raised by creatures other than his own reminded me of Mowgli from\u00a0<em>The Jungle Book<\/em> and\u00a0Tarzan\u00a0from the movie of the same name.

And for\u00a0a CGI film, <em>Popeye<\/em>'s\u00a0animation is\u00a0able to retain that\u00a0distinctive rubber hose animation and cartoony sensibility, which characterized animation from the 20s and 30s.\u00a0Plain and simple: the animation just works.

The shorts aren't directly\u00a0part of the film, but do have elements that are tied to it.\r\n\r\nThis film follows up after the first Equestria Girls spin-off film, bringing our favorite ponies back into the human world. This time, they are competing in a rock band competition.\r\n<blockquote><i>MY LITTLE PONY EQUESTRIA GIRLS: <span class=\"il\">RAINBOW<\/span> <span class=\"il\">ROCKS<\/span><\/i> the movie finds Canterlot High (CHS) hosting a musical showcase, and <span class=\"il\">Rainbow<\/span> Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy are going to be performing with their new band, The Rainbooms. But when The Dazzlings, a new girl group, arrive at CHS and convince everyone to turn the friendly showcase into a Battle of the Bands, tensions mount between the competing musical acts. A now-reformed Sunset Shimmer realizes that the Dazzlings may not be ordinary girls and are after something far more sinister than just being named Best Band at Canterlot High. The Rainbooms call on Princess Twilight to restore harmony to their world to help them perform a musical counter-spell so that they can win a battle that now determines the fate of the entire school!<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks <\/em>will have a limited release in theatres on September 27 before hitting Blu-ray and DVD a month later on October 28 (pre-order on Amazon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00LOCLANY\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00LOCLANY&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=7PDHTNAO2RS6TJL3\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

Looking at the fully rendered design, he looks great. Moss is married (twice actually), so his design is notably older, showing that he's a man, not a boy.

There hasn't been much hype about this film yet, but if these designs are any indication, it'll be something exciting to look out for next summer.\n\nSince the other characters haven't been officially announced, we're not sure which character is who.

And how sad Korra Nation was after\u00a0realizing that we wouldn't get Book 4 for potentially another year? Well, never fear! Looks like we're getting <em><strong>The Legend of Korra\u00a0Book 4: Balance<\/strong><\/em> next month on October 3!\r\n\r\nYes, you heard that right. Book 4 comes in <em>three weeks<\/em>.\r\n\r\nThe announcement was released as a special video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nick.com\/videos\/clip\/digital-short-legend-of-korra-uploader-special-announcement.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nickolodeon.com<\/a>. In the short 21-second video,\u00a0<em>The Legend of Korra\u00a0<\/em>co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino made the unexpected reveal, causing\u00a0<em>Korra<\/em> fans across the globe to literally jump for joy.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/09\/10\/the-legend-of-korra-book-4-release-date-announced-hint-its-really-soon\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18650\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement.gif\" alt=\"legend-of-korra-book-4-announcement\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a>(<a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/97176109017\/korranation-we-interrupt-your-scrolling-to-bring\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\r\nThe unexpected and hurried\u00a0release of Book 4 makes you wonder if Nickelodeon just wants to be done with the series altogether. We knew that Book 4 was already in production in 2013, even before Book 3 aired. Then Nickelodeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/06\/20\/the-legend-of-korra-book-3-release-date-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\">rushed the release of Book 3<\/a> after some episodes were leaked online. Followed by\u00a0the network deciding to completely pull Korra from its primetime lineup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/07\/24\/see-ya-korra-nickolodeon-unceremoniously-boots-the-legend-of-korra-from-its-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">opting to stream it online<\/a> only instead. If Korra were such a lucrative series for Nick, you'd think that it would like to drag out the franchise instead of rushing it the end.\r\n\r\nEither way, it is likely that this is the last series of the <em>Avatar\u00a0<\/em>universe, unless somehow DiMartino and Konietzko are able to move it to another studio\/network. (But it's unsure who has the rights to the series: Nickelodeon or the creators?) Since this could be the end of both <em>Korra<\/em> and <em>Avatar<\/em>, it makes this final season that much more important\u00a0to fans.\r\n\r\nJust a few days ago, we got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypable.com\/2014\/09\/06\/the-legend-of-korra-season-4-title-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\">official title of the book: Balance<\/a>. We thought this was just a tease to tide over the fans until the season's release sometime next year. But DiMartino\u00a0posted the image of the new title on <a href=\"http:\/\/bryankonietzko.tumblr.com\/post\/96792416232\/korranation-get-ready-soon\" target=\"_blank\">his tumblr<\/a> with the words \"GET READY SOON.\" Guess we should have taken that hint a bit more seriously. (But really, no one expected the new season to air less than two months after Book 3's finale.)\r\n\r\nThe new title fits the theme of <em>Korra<\/em>, especially after the weakened state, both physically and mentally, that Korra herself was left in at the end of the Book 3. Book 4 will be the finale season of the series and there's still a lot of unanswered questions: will Korra be able to regain the connection with the past Avatars?

The newest one released today highlight Sony's\u00a0<strong>Lauren Faust<\/strong>, who is currently directing\u00a0<em>Medusa.<\/em>\r\n\r\nFaust shares her parts of her story\u00a0about how she was drawn to animation--from her first job in animation to becoming a feature length director. I personally really resonated with the part where she talked about how in high school she was the \"weird kid\" who was still into animation, which was \"supposed to be for kids.\"\r\n\r\nFaust is most famously known for revamping Hasbro's\u00a0<i>My Little Pony brand by creating the hit show\u00a0<\/i><em>My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/em>. Her journey in animation\u00a0is fascinating and definitely worth checking out.\r\n\r\nSony Pictures Animation is really stepping up its game, letting the world know that it wants to be a big player in the feature animation world. Videos like these are such a treat for animation fans and do a great job of endearing you to the studio, especially since Sony is somewhat newer in the industry (it's been just over ten\u00a0years since it released its first film,\u00a0<em>Open Season<\/em>).\r\n\r\nWatch the video below!
